Some ripening cherries...these are pie cherries - not at all sweet - but so delicious in pies.
Some sweet peas: These smell so good!
My embroidery wip: remember this? I took out the stitching on the tomato and am now doing a split stitch using six strands of floss. I like the look much better. I finished the mushroom in the tan floss {thank you everyone for your help in the mushroom color choice!}
I like the green I have been using for the carrot and the tomato tops. It is dmc 906 - I am nearly out of this color and I can't finish this until I get some more. I could use one of these beautiful shades of green but I really like the 906...
I am still working on my tea towel and will post pictures soon!
That is such a beautiful rose! Your embroidery looks great, I often use the split stitch in my embroideries, too. It will be nice to see your vegetable stitchery when it's done!
ReplyDeleteI need to know what a split stitch is to satisfy my curiosity?? Lovely embroidery and photos of the garden. That rose is stunning!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I really need to use the split stitch more..
ReplyDeleteVery crisp and perfect - lovely!!
Thank you Karen! I will definitely post a picture of this when it is finished!
ReplyDeleteCath - Thank you and thanks for reminding me about the split stitch. I just updated this blog post to include a link to my split stitch demonstration (from when I learned how to do the split stitch). Just click on the link :)
Hi Jennifer - Thank you! It is a fun stitch - and really quick to do!
the tomatoes are looking good! I understand about the green floss. While I adore the color green, there are a couple I like best and have several skeins in my bin. The rose is beautiful - how can you not love something called Ingrid Bergman!
ReplyDeleteYour rose is absolutely beautiful!!! I don't have any roses blooming but my sweet peas are as well. Very nice stitching on your tea towel :)
ReplyDeleteHi Suz :) Thank you! I love green too and I am always amazed at how many different shades there are!
ReplyDeleteJennyPennyPoppy - Thanks! I just love sweet peas too - I am growing these in pots and they seem very happy, I am cutting blooms every day - so fun!
Lovely rose, cherry tree (mmmm, cherry pies are my fav.) and sweat peas!
ReplyDeleteThe wip is coming along nicely... I really like the mushrooms. I totally understand the need to have the perfect/fav. shade in order to complete a project. You would not be happy if you substitute... ;-).
Hi Monika - Thank you!
